Small world, great music...

I like clicking the wee arrows below Tarquin's avatar and making him go from side to side.

What a brilliant idea, Roger. If you use the slider, it looks as if he's banging his head on the walls of his little box!

That's what he does in real life.

I'm missing out on something here... what arrows?

It's a Scottish expression.

Tarquin's avatar is too large for the viewable area, hence the left and right arrows at the bottom with a 'slider' in the middle.  But then you knew that anyway, and I'm just wasting my time.

Bilthehut, I haven't the foggiest what you are on about... left and right arrows and slider bar... Tarquin's avatar fits the viewable area just fine.

I do tune in in widescreen though, so if you are all viewing in normal screen that would explain it... but I thought all of the avatars were of a set size...

... Great music video, Tarks!

Maybe you can adjust the settings for the size of the avatar viewing window?  I just know that I see Tarks avatar as a picture with the 'slidey thing and arrows ...

[Tom]

I'm using a different computer now, and see what you mean. It must have something to do with the widescreen thing.

with Malc in their team, how can we ever compete?

Very true. I was known as Golden Boots.

While you lot are coming up with acres of guff bon mots to counter that, I'll go and brew a pot of my own blend coffee, Chaussures D'Or.

I've just watched this for the third time and it really is a great video. The Dutch guy (Bekker? Dekker?) has a wonderful voice but it's a truly inspired compilation.
I remember Malc and I discussing this song on here some years ago. Malc preferred the John Lennon version while, much as I love it, I've got to go with the Ben E. King original---simply because of the bass line which Lennon omitted and, for me, makes the song.
And I stand by that. (Geddit???)
